“Dr. Plyler explained the MRI of my shoulder. He gave me a cortisone shot, which seems to be working out well.”
– Christine B.
Treating Doctor:“ Prompt treatment as usual. Have been coming here 25+ years and have the highest regard for Dr. Bade and his expert orthopedic ability.”
– Louis V.
Treating Doctor:“Dr. Gabisan came highly recommended. Fast office service and professional staff. Great personal attention and care.”
– Bruce G.
Treating Doctor:“Had debilitating leg pain due to a ruptured disk in L4/L5 region. As a tennis professional and recreational runner, my life as I knew it was over. Dr. Cohen performed surgery to relieve the pressure on the nerve causing the leg and foot pain. I was able to resume running within a few weeks and actually ran a 2:58 at the Chicago Marathon later that year, along with a personal best of 2:55 at Boston a few months after. Thank you Dr. Cohen. Without you, my running days would have been over!”
– Bob S.
Treating Doctor:“Dr. Mark Gesell has helped me on several occasions. A fine, experienced physician and gentleman, he is also careful, patient and kind. He is cautious and does not advise unnecessary treatments. I have known him for years, because he was my student in high school. He comes from a fine family. Then, as now, I am pleased to recommend him without reservation and wish him all the best with his career.”
– Winifred S.
Treating Doctor:“Dr. Bade took time to explain the procedure and made me feel relaxed all during the process.”
– Thomas S.
Treating Doctor:“Overall experience was excellent. Dr. Bade was very informative and the condition required surgery on my left knee which went very smoothly. My rehab and recovery went quickly and I was quickly back to normal.”
– Edward G.
Treating Doctor:“My injuries required a tag team effort from Dr. Gabisan and Dr. Gesell. After successfully repairing my fractured fibula, broken ankle, and torn patella tendon, I am on the long road to recovery and rehab. Both doctors I and the whole staff have been incredible the entire process! Always helpful and responsive addressing any questions or concerns and making sure my needs are met. I am glad I chose Professional Orthopaedic Associates!”
